Expressing concern for her daughter, Song Ji Ah's mother submitted her story to the production team, sharing, "I'm worried about my daughter who doesn't have a single friend. Please let my daughter run away from her reclusive cave!"

The influencer, who confessed that her mom is her only friend, also admitted that she struggles with meeting others. "I don't read my Kakaotalk messages (other than my mom's)," she revealed. "I don't go. I think it's hard for me. [If I do go out], I want to go home and I worry about my dog at home. And I want the meeting to get canceled."
